Nestor,
I haven't yet done an oil change on my '85 300D that was refurbished after 20 years of being idle in the garage, but will most likely give it a go when the time comes.
In retrospect, do you know why the old oil filter was stuck in its housing that caused little plastic pieces to come loose?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this so that I can best avoid the same when I try doing mine.
Thanks!
